Lifetime Home in National Park

We are delighted to share our most recent Planning Approval for our Lifetime Home on this rural National Park site. The proposal includes the alteration of an existing property with the addition of a larger modern extension to provide much needed and suitable accommodation for wheelchair use.

The new contemporary extension is designed with the influence of a modern barn structure that will utilise zinc and timber cladding. The scheme is enhanced by new native planting that form hedgerows and wildlife corridors allowing the proposals to harmonise with the wider countryside setting. The topography of the site presented us with an interesting challenge for an accessible home, but the combined architectural and landscape design will provide full accessibility around the site.

Internally the property will offer flexible living arrangements and a hydrotherapy pool as well as utilising specialist assistive technology to make the home as functional and enjoyable as possible.

Modern Arts and Crafts Extension

Building on our successful start to 2023, January brings another planning permission for a large extension and remodelling of this rural property in Hampshire.

This Eclectic style extension has been designed as a modern twist to the original house that harmonises with the existing forms and massing, providing well crafted architectural details and interest. The design focuses on the provision of a new larger kitchen and family hub space that feeds into the rest of the house. A new two storey front entrance has also been designed to create a focal point to the principal facade.

The new principal bedroom suite includes a large window seat with day bed that looks out over the rolling Hampshire countryside.

Christmas Planning

An early Christmas present has come in from Winchester City council for one of our client. We are happy to have received planning approval for this small contemporary extension and garden studio in Winchester.

The project involves internal alterations, rear and attic extensions, and a separate garden studio to the rear of the property on this urban house to provide modern family living.

The extension and garden studio have been designed to have a contemporary form which is clad in zinc for a clean modern aesthetic.

The works will provide a more logical layout and larger amenity space for a growing family to enjoy their property and allow private home working.

Test Valley Planning Challenge

We were approached by a client who was unsuccessful in achieving planning approval with other consultants. By carrying out a detailed analysis of the site and after careful negotiations with the local authority, Witcher Crawford Architects managed to secure planning consent in 2019 for a new build house on this sensitive site. The house is now complete.
